About Me

Systems Architect with 18 years of programming experience and a PhD in Digital Composition. I design and build systems at the intersection of audio, AI, and embedded hardware.

My path started in academic research—data sonification with Stockholm Environment Institute, NASA, spatial audio performances at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Wellcome Trust funded Designing Drugs with Sound project, machine learning publications from 2011. That research foundation shapes how I approach product: first principles thinking, research by practice, experiment and ship.

Since 2021, I've run a development studio shipping accross NFT, metaverse, 3D web, and AI—building production systems at each turn. I've advised AI platforms (Krea, Glif, Tripo3D, Freepik) and alpha tested tools before public release (ElevenLabs Sound Effects, March 2024).

When I'm not building, I'm patching modular synths or pushing Deforum animations through FLUX pipelines.
